There are, please see [1]. As you can see from [2], my patches were
all merged for Firefox 53 and therefore are not present in mozjs52.

I can whip up a patch for mozjs52 to add sparc64 support if there is
a realistic chance for it to be merged. My m68k [3] and sh4 [4] patches for
mozjs52 are still without any reply, for example.

Generally, getting mozjs52 to build on most platforms is easy and I
can help with that.
